My Experience With Once Human Has Become Very Disappointing I played Once Human a long time ago, back when the game was newer and much lighter. I spent many hours building my base, collecting cosmetics, progressing my character, and enjoying the game. After taking a break and coming back later, I discovered that all of my progress was gone. I don't know if there was a server reset, an account issue, or something else, but losing everything I had worked for was extremely frustrating. When I logged in again after another break, I only found empty characters with no progress at all. Another major issue is the game's optimization. It feels significantly heavier than it used to be. The installation size has grown to well over 120 GB, and the performance is noticeably worse than I remember. For many players with average PCs, this makes the game much harder to enjoy. My biggest frustration, however, is the PvP experience. You can spend hours exploring, gathering resources, and making progress, only for another player to come along and kill you for no reason other than to ruin someone else's experience. Instead of creating exciting gameplay, these encounters often feel discouraging and simply waste the time players invested. I believe the game needs better systems to protect players who just want to explore and enjoy the content. Whether that's improved PvP balancing, stronger protections in appropriate areas, or better incentives for fair play, the current experience can be very frustrating. Once Human has a lot of potential, and that's exactly why this is so disappointing. I genuinely enjoyed the game in the past, but today it feels less optimized, more frustrating, and less respectful of the time players invest. I hope the developers continue improving the game and listen to community feedback, because I would honestly like to enjoy Once Human again.

About
You wake up in the middle of nowhere. You'll have to brace yourself for the cruelty of nature (from monsters to lack of food); however, Stardust's influence does not restrict to living things, it also affects the soil and water. Eating polluted food and drinking dirty water will reduce your Sanity. When your Sanity drops, your max HP would drop accordingly. To eat or not to eat, it's a question.
Battle numerous enemies that are once human, and challenge bosses from another dimension to gain powerful items and ease Stardust pollution. You are not only fighting for yourself, but also fighting for the survivors.
With about 100 gun blueprints divided into seven categories for you to collect and craft, every loot grants you something new. Did I mention accessories and gun perks? Right, they are the heroes here. If our current weapon cannot satisfy your need, you can add different parts and perks, upgrade your firearm to your heart's content.
Use Territory Core to build a house of your own. You can keep a practical style, jamming everything needed in a small room; or you can design a townhouse with a patio, kitchen, garage… The best part is, you can relocate your territory any time you want!
Delve into the truth of Stardust, find out where it came from, and what it wants. In the journey of seeking truth, you may feel alone, but you are never alone. There are several factions in the world, some can be violent and hostile, others might be friendly and helpful. Explore human settlements to learn their stories or exterminate bosses without leaving a name for survivors to praise, the choices are yours.

说什么有独狼服和只有第一人称服都是假的在玩文字游戏,难怪不火,卸载
It's a good mix of Survival, Looter Shooter and MMORPG. If you like the Stranger Things/CoC art style it's a lock. I hope they continue adding and improving the Core Manibus Scenario as that is my favorite and seems to have the most longevity.
jogo bom da porra
Verry addicting, played for 4.5 hours and didnt even notice
